Alexandaria House part two

The second time I went to Alexandaria House there was not enough students to tutor so I ended up playing with the student's children. I have experience in watching children because I use to work a preschool for two years so I didn't mind watching them. For children who live in transitional housing, they look at the positive things in life. They are so happy and content with their lives. This girl who is nine is very intelligent. She acting older and I am surprise when she said she was nine. The other two children who were brothers and they seem to like playing at the Alexandaria House because they enjoy playing outside with the equipment. There was no arguments with the children and they were very funny and nice. We played games with them and the time went by fast. I thought the time would go by slow since I was just going to watch the children for four hours. It was actually fun because not only we played game but we played soccer and I like to play soccer. I haven't played soccer in awhile so I was happy we got to play. I like contributing to Alexandaria House because everybody is very friendly. Eventhough they do not know me, they treat me very nice. I would like to back and help with the program they have there whether its daycare or the ESL program. They have different kinds of programs for women and children there. Last semester I got to help with daycare for the three to six years old and so I got to experience two programs there. I would say I like to do the daycare because I am more comfortable being around children since I have experience with children. I never really tutored anyone so I do not know what I am suppose to do. When I tutored Jenny I did not really know waht to do but she made it comfortable for me to help her. I would tutor again so I can gain more experience in tutoring.
